Research Opportunity

Development of integrated electronic systems for interrogation of optical sensors

Work description

This grant is part of a project that aims to develop and implement optical sensors in an industrial context. Different types of sensors will be applied to monitor the curing of concrete structures that will support offshore wind turbines, the quality of the surrounding water and gas distribution systems.

The aim of this grant is to develop optimized interrogation and communication tools for the various types of optical sensors to be developed.
